The Medline ASC team and 54 ASCA members from 15 different states visited representatives to discuss pending bills, including H. R. 4350 and H. R. 1570.

“ASCA’s National Advocacy Day was an important opportunity to raise awareness around key industry initiatives that can improve healthcare costs and access to care,” says Antonia Finlayson, vice president of specialty marketing at Medline. “Medline’s mission is to help make healthcare run better and improve healthcare for all.
